Hello RiverDay, I pull cranks from the front of my boat, but out of the back I would use a 6 to 9 ft rod like you would bass fish with. Just be sure to have them angled up around 45 degrees in your rod holder so a fish couldn't pull them out.
What kind of rods do ya'll use for pulling off the back of the boat crankbaits.

B'n'M Pro Trollers with Okuma line counter reels, 10lb. high vis yellow line. I pull a 8 ft. and a 12 ft. on each side and two 10 footers straight out the back....this gives me good separation on all my lines with 6 poles.
I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

I agree with Scott with having em at 45 degrees. I use 6.6 and 8' rods off the back of the boat and I like a rod with medium action.

Cant beat the silstar rods for price. They are tough but 12ft. is the longest i could find.

hey wilbur and blueball, how do you like those Silstars? the local bait shop has them from 8' - 12' for $20. thinkin bout gettin a couple 12' for the front to spread the jigs a lil further. are they light enough action for pullin jigs?
Thanks,
Ben
we pull alot of cranks in the summer, its hard to beat the B'n'M trollers.....but have honestly never tried the silstars

I have a limited number of 8 and 10 ft Silstars for $9.00 and $11.00. Sold out of the 12 ft; however, now have HT Panfish 12 ft in stock for $13.95.
